The snowball principle

It really is one of those weeks…

I just stepped into the garage to spray a rapidly growing mud wasp nest.  While I was out there, I noticed the back passenger tire is flat.  It wasn’t that way this morning.  I have to take the car in early next week for the inspection anyway, so I’ll have that addressed then.  But still, couldn’t it have waited?  Like, a year?

Kako tried to leap to the kitchen counter, which she often uses as a springboard to get to the top of the refrigerator.  She missed.  Significantly.  She tried to leap over Vazra who was moving, so she made a last-minute course correction that was actually incorrect.  She hit the side of the cabinets with a painful whack.  She again tried to miss Vazra as she fell and twisted around as she ricocheted to the floor.  She landed on her side with a disheartening thud.  She’s now limping significantly and crying when she places her rear right leg on the ground or when I touch her on that side.  Nothing’s broken or dislocated, but she’s obviously hurt.

Loki‘s condition seems stable.  Unfortunately, he plateaued in a bad place.  The medicine helped a bit, but he’s suffering tremendously and is in a very weakened state.  Another three or four days will tell if it’s time for a cardiac ultrasound or if we need to change his treatment.  He’s not the same cat now…

My niece Courtney has been in the hospital all week.  She came home yesterday.  The poor lass is really struggling with a bizarre infection that beats her up constantly.  Now she’s had her tonsils removed.  What’s next on her plate?

I’m tired.
